yes the lag seems to happen even when the max editor is closed. i can easily see the lag by playing a drum rack using the push_grid object and then playing the same drum rack with the native push functionality. it might have something to do with how i'm using max to convert output from the push_grid object into midi notes. i'm using a bunch of 'if' objects to output midi notes if the input from the pads is a certain value. could this be causing any lag?

thanks for the help.

I'm having a problem with the touchstrip grabbing control without permission and not returning it properly. Or something like that.


Simple example...

Put an instrument on a track. Confirm that pitch bend works.

Go to the next MIDI track and add any device that includes [p push_touchstrip]. It doesn't have to be connected to anything, nor does it matter if that control is active. It just has to be present in a device on a MIDI track somewhere. In fact, the MIDI device can be de-activated and this will still occur:

Go back to your instrument. Try to use pitch bend. You can't.

Nothing that I do can change this, except to delete the offending device. Suddenly, I have pitch bend again.

Am I an isolated incident, or is this happening for other people?

greaterthanzero - i can confirm this problem. it seems that after grabbing control of the touchstrip and then releasing control of the touchstrip, it no longer puts out pitch bend information until the M4L device is deleted.

More than that, though..

Paste [p push_touchstrip] into a new device without any other objects. The mere existence of this device on a track will kill your pitch bend.

I'm poking around in there, and can confirm that grab_control is not called arbitrarily on launch. If no signal passes into the right outlet, there should be nothing to release. I can't see where control was grabbed in the first place. And yet, it's clearly happened somehow...

Okay... triggering [live.observer] in the far-left column causes Push to relinquish control of the touch strip.

This is obviously an issue with the python rather than flocked's code, but maybe we can work around it...

I can rig it up to not trigger until we've activated [p push_touchstrip], but I have no idea how to clear the observer when we deactivate. Any Live.API gurus want to take a stab at it?

Thanks a lot for this!
Do you have a max device to control properly the monosequencer with Push, using the pads ?

probably quite some work, given that this is a deep effect

Here's some progress on a more push-oriented version of polygome:
http://sadfactory.com/assets/downloads/ ... 4_push.zip

EDIT:
Here is a new version made compatible with the latest dev kit. Discard the previous one.

http://sadfactory.com/assets/downloads/ ... ush_v2.zip


It's built off of your work, with the following additions:

1) The base velocity of each note is established through aftertouch (but offset by whatever's coming out of the "velocity" page)

2) Note duration can optionally be controlled by the touchstrip.

The velocity hack makes me very happy (though I do wish we could have used poly aftertouch instead for even more expressive control). I'm not sold on the duration one, to be honest.

Still to do (by someone -- maybe not myself):
We should move the top-row controls to the Scene buttons, and make that row part of the primary grid again.

-----------------


You'll notice a new object in the code, between the "do I want to take over the touchstrip?" toggle and the code which does so. Something like this should probably be in the dev kit as well:

Essentially, it makes sure that when the device is disconnected, anything we've taken over by hand is also released. It grabs them again, if appropriate, when focus is restored.

With that in place, you can take over pitch bend, switch to a different track, and still have pitch bend on that track.

Somewhere between that object and your "push control, when:" block, we should maybe add one more layer of safeguards: If the device we're in has been disabled, the middle outlet of [live.thisdevice] can be used to release control of the Push components.

Also of note:

The touchstrip code in there* is all kinds of wacky. I jumped through a lot of hoops to provide an obvious feature that's been missing, and then didn't end up using it. Still, give that a look-see. We should talk about whether there's a more straightforward solution...

*("there" being this new version of the polygome port)

If we're thinking of the same post, it solved a different problem, which I thought was very specific to the touchstrip. It may or may not help to apply these changes to the other subpatches.
